Question

"One thing is for sure: Hope never dies."

Now, should the 'h' in 'hope' be capitalized or not?
Thanks

Answer 1

I would say no if you are quoting someone.

Answer 2

I'm not quoting anyone. "Hope never dies" is my thesis statement. Knowing this, do you think I shouldn't capitalize it then?

Answer 3

Yes, you need the capital H on hope -- it's the beginning of an independent clause.

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

In the sentence you provided, the "h" in "hope" should not be capitalized. The general rule is that only the first letter of a sentence or a proper noun should be capitalized. "Hope" is a common noun, so it doesn't require capitalization unless it is at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title.
